Add rice, water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt to the pressure cooker. Use the manual setting and set the time to 7 minutes at High pressure. Let the cooker to cool down naturally. Unlock the lid and uncover rice. Add in half and half, vanilla, and chopped mango. Stir together. Serve in small bowls with toasted coconut and almonds over top.

I was wrong – after setting and cooling for a while, it became very thick! I ended up adding all the half and half I had previously left out, and I will add all the water next time (but maybe less half and half).

I have the 6 quart IP LUX model and for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to adjust the pressure during manual cooking. What to do? I have a recipe I’d like to make that calls for low pressure and I have looked far and wide for instructions somewhere. Thanks so much!

IP-LUX series only has one pressure level, which is High. If your recipe ask for Low pressure, unless it’s for delicate food material, you can use High with about 10~25% less time.
IP-DUO has the High and Low pressure level.

This is also an issue for me. I have Miss Vicki’s pressure cooker cookbook. All recipies say cook on low pressure but, when using manual setting you can’t change the pressure. So, just to clarify, I would just cut the cook time 10-25%…

Also… if a general(such as Ms. Vicki) pressure cooker recipe is for chicken (for example) would you recommend using the Poultry setting on the instant pot OR use the manual setting?
